11. Night attack on Manchuan Pass

"Night raid? If you want to succeed in a night attack, you must be 10 out of 10 sure! After listening to Gao Gu's suggestion, Gao Yue couldn't help but groan.

He also read all kinds of military books, and of course understood that night raids were high-reward but also high-risk behaviors in ancient warfare.

At this time, Gao Gu said: "As long as there is Shao Yin in the White Grass Army......"

"Oops!" Gao Yue stopped him from continuing, he was straightforward, "You are the soldier and horse envoy of the White Grass Army, although I am a military envoy, but I can't attack at night or anything, and I can't do anything with swords or anything in front of the battle." In this way, I entrust you with all the military power of the White Grass Army and the Shannan Army. Manchuan Pass will be handed over to you to fight, and I will wait for the general's good news in Shangjin Fort. ”

"This ......" Gao Gu is difficult again.

"What are you afraid of, you just go and deploy, the Shannan soldiers and horses envoy Wu Xianfu and the other generals of the Baicao Army will be handed over to me to integrate."

Gao Yue did what he said, and immediately asked Cai Fengyuan and others to wander around, and summoned Wu Xianfu, Ming Huaiyi, Hou Lan, Mi Mu Changyuan, as well as Zhang Xi, the shooting general of the Xuanrun Town Navy, and Wang Ge, the general of Cao Wang Gao in Jingnan, and so on, and then under the light of the soldiers' torches, Gao Yue untied the silver shark sheath and the horizontal knife he was carrying, solemnly handed it into Gao Gu's hands, and said to everyone:

"This knife was given by Taiwei Duan when Gao Yue was in the Jingyuan camp in the past."

As soon as they heard Duan Xiushi's name, all the generals were in awe.

"Now Yue will hand over this knife to my Baicao army soldier and horse envoy Gao Gu, at this time until noon tomorrow, Gao Guquan will know the two armies of Baicao and Shannan, and attack Manchuan Pass, and the generals must not disobey, do you know?"

Ming Huaiyi's eyes rolled, and he immediately came out with the two brothers, promising that he would never dare to violate General Gao's moderation.

Then Hou Lan and Mi Mu Changyuan stepped forward and made the same promise as the three Ming brothers.

Zhang Xi and Wang Yi even took the initiative to ask for help, saying that they would never insult the name of the Zhenjun Navy and the heir of King Cao, and they would definitely make meritorious contributions in the battle of Manchuan Pass.

In the end, only Wu Xianfu, the soldier and horse envoy of Shannan Dongdao, was left, and this eye looked around, and understood in his heart that Gao Yue gave a knife to Gao Gu, and Mingli wanted to give up the command of the whole battlefield to Gao Gu, which was actually forcing him to show his attitude.

What do I need to say about my attitude? I know the soldiers and horses of Shannan Dongdao, and I also have the history of Junzhou's assassination, how can I ......

"How can Xianfu harm the overall situation of the battlefield because of his personal position! There are 2,500 sons of Shannan here, and only the white grass soldiers and horses make General Gao the head of the horse. Wu Xianfu's voice was like a bell, his beard was open, his fists were folded, and he was holding out his thoughts in a dignified manner.

Gao Yue was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Wu Xianfu's arm, saying that the general really understood the righteousness, "It's simply the reincarnation of Feng Gongsun, the general of Yuntai Dashu!" ”

Feng Gongsun, that is, Feng Yi, the founding general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, every time Liu Xiu's other generals sat together, when discussing their merits, only this one hid alone under the big tree, never participated, nor was he proud of his achievements, and the army called him "General Big Tree".

"General Big Tree!" At this time, the surrounding soldiers and soldiers all shouted in unison.

Wu Xianfu even said "tormenting and tormenting", but his heart is actually still beautiful.

After nightfall, at the bases of Shangjin Fort and Manchuan Pass, torches were swirling, and people and horses were all chattering, presumably Gao Gu was carefully planning a night attack.

Gao Yue stood at the head of the city, quietly watching all this, and the Shangjin transfer envoy Wan Qian and the Biandong transfer envoy Wang Shao behind him still looked a little worried.

In fact, not to fight Manchuan Pass, but to keep the goods to Fengtian City, is already a great achievement-will Gao Yue be a little more drawn?

But Gao Yue had a different idea, "First hit Manchuan Pass, let Li Xilie and Feng Youlin, these traitors know the power of the heavenly soldiers, and then Shangjin Fort only needs a small number of soldiers to defend it, although millions of dollars and goods are exchanged, there is no worry about the whole process, so it is a small matter, and the fighting spirit of the traitors is big." ”

At this moment, the barrier at the pass of Manchuan Pass was lit by torches, and Li Shuwen was also reading Gao Yue's letter of persuasion to surrender, and laughed when he looked at it, and tore the letter in front of the other mountain shed leaders, and said wildly: "I want to follow the king of Chu, the wind and clouds will meet, and the tone of Xingyuan Shaoyin is not small - go, step up and urge Feng Youlin to lead the army here, this time not only to hold Manchuan, but also to take advantage of the victory to occupy Shangjin Fort, as the so-called head rests on the five states in the south of Gyeonggi, and steps on the Biansong Cao River for 2,000 miles!" ”

When the children of the mountain shed heard this, they were all excited and high-pitched, and shouted in unison, "I am waiting for the children of the mountains and rivers, with the blue snow on the head, and the waves of the canal on the feet!" ”

Bursts of cheers surrounded Li Shuwen, and the head of the mountain shed couldn't help but be intoxicated.

This is a battle between the Taofen Shed and the Mountain Shed.

Suddenly, under the Manchuan Pass, a long horn sounded, followed by the roar of thousands of troops and horses.

Li Shuwen was shocked, "The enemy is coming to attack me!" ”

Then he saw that the torches on both sides of the pass were floating like stars on the east hill and under the apricot flat on the west side, and then continued to pour in to the north.

Under Donggang and Xingping, there are ravines each, like natural ravines, but those torches soon crossed the ravines where they were located, began to line up a series of eye-catching routes, climbed Donggang and Xingping, and began to detour to both sides of Manchuan Pass.

"Quick, quick, send someone to invite interception!" Li Shuwen hurriedly commanded.

At the east hill, when the disciples of the mountain shed carried bows and horse forks on their backs and pressed towards the torches, in the pine forest on the side, countless torches were suddenly raised, and the top of the post was bright and bright - behind the long and short pine branches, 200 Xuanrun crossbowmen were in a strict formation, holding crossbows ready to attack, all sitting in the formation.

Gao Gu selected a crossbow team in advance, among which Zhang Xi led Xuanrun's crossbowmen to Donggang's crossbow team, and Wang Yiji's Baicao Army and Shannan Bing's crossbowmen were Xingping's crossbow team, and each chose the woods on the side of the road to ambush.

These mountain sheds rob houses and houses on weekdays, and engage in guerrilla warfare, but once they really fight, they will not even arrange light and dark sentry shops.

Then Gao Gu followed Li Jing's art of war, selected 300 "strange soldiers" each, and raised torches to advance to Gaofu on both sides of Manchuan Pass, just to make the strange soldiers strange and lure the mountain shed to fight.

"Shoot!" Xuanrun crossbowmen are all good hands in the epicenter of the Central Plains, plus the two armies have torches, to use the "Wangshan" on the crossbow machine to measure the direction, after confirming the "battlement", an order, all pull the crossbow teeth, "snort", crossbow arrows ejected, in the night sky to draw a rainstorm like a white trajectory, pounced on the unprepared mountain shed, the arrow cluster with sharp teeth, fiercely biting and tearing the flesh and blood of the mountain shed.

It's pretty much the same with Xingping over there.

After a volley of crossbow arrows, the mountain shed team screamed miserably, and dozens of casualties were immediately killed, and the entire team was even more bombed.

"Kill!" At this time, the officers and soldiers of Donggang also drew their horizontal knives one by one, covered themselves with side cards, and took the opportunity to run and launch a surprise attack on the mountain shed bandits who caused chaos.

Soon, there was a fierce battle on both sides of Manchuan Pass.

Li Shuwen, whose face was pale, waited for the news that the officers and soldiers locked the valleys on both sides of the pass with strong crossbows, and took turns to shoot, and the children of the mountain shed could not advance or retreat, and suffered heavy casualties.

But before he could come back to his senses, the front of the Manchuan Pass barrier suddenly shook the earth: thousands of Baicao Army and Shannan soldiers' children flocked to the line, holding torches and log ladders, like a frenzy.
